Taps for Twenty Children A Poem about Newtown There are twenty empty places at twenty empty tables where families used to eat. There are twenty empty bedrooms and twenty empty beds where children used to sleep. There are twenty empty desks where children used to learn from teachers who would teach […]

December 14, 2012: Remember that Day Part I Remember those teachers. Remember those other teachers, the ones who helped, the ones who saved other children. Remember the school principal. Remember the police officers. Remember the Emergency Medical Technicians, the fire personnel and other first responders. Remember the doctors and nurses and hospital personnel who […]

It’s Graduation Season!

Congratulations to graduates at every level!
Grade school. High School. College. Graduate Schools.
It's another step to move your life forward!
Enjoy it! You've earned that!
And keep on learning! More than ever, our world needs students who are committed to learning.
And remember: sometimes it's not what you know that's important. Sometimes it's what you don't know, and continuous learning helps you to keep learning that lesson.
Even more important: It's what you don't know that you don't know! That means that you will never know everything, but you need to recognize that there are things you need to learn and know, even if you don't know what they are yet!
Good luck to all graduates! Be perpetual learners! We need you!

A Note About Selection Boxes When Purchasing an Item

Read the instructions on pages where multiple product choices are present. Then go to the Selection Boxes. If you have any difficulties with the Selection Boxes, click the "Clear Selection" button until all boxes are cleared (you may have to click it more than once), and then enter all your choices again.

If you put an item into the shopping cart and then change your mind, click the red X, and when the "Return to Shop" button appears, click the arrow that takes you to "The Shop." Click through and then return back to your page by clicking the Photo related to your choice, or go through the main navigation menu. This is necessary to clear the shopping cart and the selection boxes. I will try to find out if there is a fix for this, but for now the above should work. If not, contact me.

For downloadable items, make selection(s) then follow Shopping Cart to PayPal. After paying, you will receive instructions on how to download your item(s).
